Bill Belichick is showing you that coaching matters. Don't settle.

He added a QB, that's it. Nothing else.

It's clear as day that Cam and the 9 billion opt-outs hurt them significantly, last year; with everybody back and a competent QB at the helm, they're back to being #1 seeds.

They are not an apples to apples comparison to us in the slightest (re: your, "rebuild," comment).


Again, that wasn't on Zac but he took responsibility for it anyways (not sure why).

I'm not defending Zac in any of this, BTW, but people have to take the hate blinders off and see things for what they are; the fact is that our coaching staff is light years ahead of where they were 2 years ago and also significantly-improved from last year. Yes there will still be inconsistencies, but if they are in place after this year, I would think the expectation would be that they would continue to improve.

But how one can blame him for refs screwing up the clock like they did all game (and wasted time) and then compare an offensive PC to Bill Belichick (who has never called an offense in his life, someone correct me if I'm wrong) after an OFFENSIVE anomaly, is just a misguided, stupid, non-apples to apples comparison of the situation.

You're as wrong as can be about "nothing else". the Patriots had a busy offseason rebuilding their team. I refer you to:

In addition to drafting a new franchise QB, they also used free agency by targeting specific players for their rebuild. It wasn't just about transitioning from Brady to Cam to Mac.

Edit:

Three articles referencing the Pats rebuild:

Sure, rebuild applicable to sports is a subjective term but it is fairly clear Bill rebuilt the team.
